I was looking for a genuine leather pen case and happened to walk past this shop. I'm so glad I did because I found exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something compact, well-made, and made from real leather. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the shopkeeper. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She asked what I was looking for and let me know that if I needed any help, I could just ask. When I told her I was looking for a pen case, she immediately showed me a display, and there it was--the perfect one. The quality of the leather is excellent. It's soft, nicely textured, and you can immediately tell it's genuine leather from the rich leather smell when you open the case. I bought the black one, but it also comes in several other colors. What surprised me most was the price. At only $15 out the door, it's an incredible value for a genuine leather product. I found cheaper options on Amazon, but most of those aren't made from real leather. This one is the real deal, and the craftsmanship is excellent. The store also has a great selection of bags, belts, wallets, purses, keychains, and many other leather goods. Overall, I had a wonderful shopping experience and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I went in for a belt and they didn't have the size I needed. They took the time to contact the manufacturer to see if they still sold that type of belt, then they ordered more on the spot. The level of customer service is excellent. How it use to be back in the day. It's hard to find that type of customer service nowadays. read more

I bought a pair of Minnetonka slippers and after a getting them home and several weeks later, I noticed the string around the top started to unravel. We don't live close to the shop so I tried to restring it with no luck. Rita at the shop was so helpful when I brought them in. Too bad they are not as close to us I would visit more often. read more

My first trip to Old Town and a visit to this cute store was so cool! I found a unique and very functional small backpack and I've used it everyday! I tried to visit their webpage that was on the tag of the bag, but it seems nonexistent. read more

Love their selection - and smell as you walk in! The only place in San Diego that I can get my favorite coin purse. It doesn't have any sharp edges so it's perfect for keeping in your pocket. It's easy to get into dash all you have to do is squeeze the sides and it opens up. They've also got lots of other leather items - a great spot for belts, too. read more

Toler's Leather Depot - Squeeze and open coin purse - Leather Goods Near Me - San Diego, California

Toler's Leather Depot is a cute little store that fits in so well in Old Town, San Diego. This place has lots of unique hats, belts, and bags. The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is that almost everything here has a western feel to it. There are belts with big buckles, leather items with lots of fringe, and plenty of decor with the western theme. While my son looked at all the "cowboy" hats, and I found the cutest duffle bag. There wasn't a hat in his size, and I didn't really need another piece of luggage, but it was sure fun shopping here. Although this store is pretty small, it's really packed with plenty of wallets, coin purses, and, of course, handbags! I found some nice cross-body bags, which is great because handbags are truly my weakness! The store has good customer service and lots of beautiful leather items. For a fun, western themed gift items, Toler's Leather is a wonderful stop while in Old Town! read more

See all

My partner and I visited this store in 2017, whilst on vacation from England. We loved the smell, the friendliness - and the prices! I bought the most fantastic leather 'Gladstone' bag and used it on all my business trips. It was much admired - probably too much as it got stolen whilst on a train journey! Now, I will have to find a good excuse to return - and I will certainly buy another bag from this store. But I will have to take extra care of it, next time! read more

I called ahead to see how late Toler's was open (until 6pm daily) and to verify they carried something specific I was looking for. The woman I spoke with was very friendly, so I was hoping for a good experience. I had a little trouble finding the shop since their address on Google Maps does not correspond to their actual location (on the interior of Old Town Historical Park), so at 5:45 I attempted to call for help finding them. No answer. I thought maybe they were busy helping a customer, and being such a small shop, perhaps no one was available to answer the phone. I tried again at 5:50, still no answer. I finally located the shop on my own at 5:55 to find the doors shut. I could see two women through the window as I walked up, so I knocked on the door. One of the women asked (through the door) who it was knocking, so I said "a potential customer," and she said "I'm sorry, we're closed." I asked, "even if I know exactly what I want and have cash to pay for it?" She replied, "No, I'm sorry." I looked at my iPhone to verify I was not mistaken about the time, and asked, "What time do you close?" and she said, "6pm." I am unbelievably frustrated by the fact that she told me (practically) to my face that they closed at 6, yet here it was 5:55 and she refused to let me in to make a purchase! Not only that, but I'm guessing based on their lack of desire to answer the phone during business hours, I'd have been turned away even if I'd gotten there 10 minutes earlier. I am all for supporting small businesses, but a large retailer would never have the audacity to shut their doors early and turn away paying customers before closing time. I'll be going elsewhere to make my purchase. read more

Wandered in while roaming around Old Town. If you're like me, you'll simply just enjoy the smell of the place! It's not a huge store, but got a good variety of leather goods. Moccasins for the kids, hats, wallets, belts. you name it. Prices seemed reasonable too. read more

See Ruby she is amazing and the most friendly lady in all of old town!!! They have several unique items and the items that they didnt have Ruby told me exactaly where i would be able to find them!! read more

went in to buy some leather baby shoes and when paying the woman was forcing me to pay in my home currency (from the UK) - it added 3.5% visa charge for doing this. This is against Visa rules buy they were having none of it! She refused to charge me in US$, and then got really rude saying I was affecting her selling to other customers (there was only 1 other person in the shop!). We left and did not buy the shoes which was a shame. I would steer well clear of this place when in Old town the 8/14/2011 review is obviously written by the owners/friends of the owners read more

Lovely staff, super friendly ladies working there. They were helpful and very nice to my son who was running all over the store excitedly looking at everything. Selection was really good and the prices weren't bad. It smells so NICE in here. We found a belt for my son here that we hadn't been able to find anywhere else, so that he could wear a belt buckle he was given at our hometown rodeo. My husband also found some little gifts for himself. Highly recommend stopping by to check things out. read more

I purchased a leather cross-body bag from Toler's in January. After just a few uses, the leather strap broke in two. (It looked like the stitching was too close and too tight). I called the store and spoke with Ruby, who asked me to send the bag in. Within a few short weeks, she replaced the bag and added a matching leather change purse as a "thank you" for my patience and patronage. Other reviewers have described the store and the variety of goods for sale. Definitely worth checking out when you are in Old Town. read more

I bought a leather belt there. After 3 days the paint they use instead of dyeing the leather started falling off in quarter-inch pieces.

I have been a patron of Tolers for many years and have NEVER found it dim. Everyone working in the store has been courteous, helpful and honest. I would send anyone there, they have wonderful and unique items for sale. read more
